Mrs. Hamebut is living but is incapable of taking charge of the family. The children want a guardian and after the necess ary steps are taken, some one will probably be appointed as such. Some of the young ladies of this place have organized an "Anti-Mat rimenial Society."

Editors of N. P. Farmor. DEAR SIRS:—Having noticed a few weeks ago in the FARMER a letter from Dv. C. J*. Jordan by the meritof the Clayton Plows, I thought that there might be a possibility of its merits being overdrawn. However, since then I have seen Mr. Clayton's Gang Plows pretty well tested, and for superiority of work,lightness of draft and ease of handling, I consider that ®f its class it has no peer. I have al ways made the science of plowing quite a study, and consider myself at homfr where plowing of land is con cerned. A good plower can do good work with aa indifferent plow, but with a good plow an indifferent plower, cannot help but do good work if he exorcises the least amonnt of ordinary intelligence. Thereisno effect without a cause and the cause of good thorough plowing and deep in proportion to what sub soil you may have is the effect of better crops the ensuing year all things being equal. And now sir, in conclusion I honest ly consider that an ordinary intelli gent man or boy cannot fail to do ex cellent work with any of the Clayton Plows. Yours &c. Wit.KISSACK. Aug. 24th, 1884. Miscellaneous Didn't Allow any Nonsense. A Turner Co. Justice of the Peace recently granted a divorce and awards ed the lady who applied for the same return fare to Iowa from where she came to prosecute her suit. A lawyer who questioned the jurisdiction of the justice had a narrow escape from being fined for contempt of court. The court argued that as he had power to marry people, he had power to un it) arry them, and would not hear any monkey work about jurisdiction in such a plain case. The husband put up the dust for return fare to. Iowa, and the justice satisfied the judgment on hisklockefc.—JamtslmU'AUrt^jf -^a* 1 A cowboy stepped into saloon the other day while WILSOir BEREMAN & WILSON, PKOPKIETOKS. a "Suppose,"says W. E.

His qualifications were undis puted.—Fargo Broadaxei If the reports about the recntly per fected telephone instruments can be relied upon, the public will soon see most astonishing changes in the tele phone business. A Cincinnati com pany claims to have perfected an in strument, with no royalties attached to thera, which are so simple that any boy of sixteen with ordinary in telligence can put them together in an hour at a cost of a dollar or two. It is further claimed that the new in strument is so perfect that it will telephone distinctly as far as one can telegraph, the murmur ot a sea-shell being heard 000 miles. AH of which we hope is true, and it certainly is no more improbable than developments heretofore made. It may be that shortly a telephone will be as necess ary in every well regulated family as a front door-bell.—Ex. an exchange,"you pay $1.00 per day for help, and a good shovel costs an equal amount but you retain the old one because you think it too good to throw away, although the man is only capable of doing three-fourths of a day's work with it. How much have you made in ten days by the saving. Suppose .A new hoe costs sixty cents,yet you put the same man to work with the old one which he can do three-fourths of a day's work. How much have you saved in ten DAJ'S? An old rwsty hoe will quite frequently cause a difference of a fourth of our labor.

These create a factitious appetite, which demands an oversupply of food, and leaves the eater no better off, so far as comfort is considered,than he-was before eat ing. If you don't wish to eat, take care to eat but little, and that of the food,till comes naturally. the desire Just take enough support nature, and good diges tion will provide an appetite for the coming meal times. Rule second is, the rule of not too mixed.

People swallow without think ing,and often without knowing, in compatible and warring articles of lood or of refreshment at the same meal,and thus turn their stomachs into chemical laboratories or ferment ing tanks.

It should need no chemical analysis to tell usthis experience should be enough.—Phil. Ledger. Sheep Raising. It is pleasant to note the attention at IS being given to this profitable branch of farming in the Northwest. There is plenty of cheap land here, and the business can be conducted in this part of United States very profit ably. The wild grasses are luxur iant in their growth and are full of nourishing juices* Sheep will thrive admirably on the food that can be cheaply furnished them in this coun try. Getting "down to brass tacks" THERE is no profit in howling at mon oply,or in sitting sulkily because •$» *$i? *.:*J k*» -*& WADENA, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, a Bismarck W t'-uv 3- V'^"'^?'^vJt5 "When America understands the science of feeding they can bid defi ance to foreign wool," Cost of keeping to maket and convenience will determine the best of sheep to raise. It is impossible for the East to compete with the West raising wool. Where land is cheap, and mutton of little value, the WHAT A BUSHEL WILL BUY. Oompantivt Prioei of and the Cost of Faraera Living Now.and Two Yean Ago Just now, while the low prico of wheat is agi tating the farmer's mind, and causing some doubt iu the bre iKt of the merchant as to whether he will ba able to collect his bills, it is well to con sider the question in all its bearings. It is doubt ful if the farmers of the Northwest have stopped to consider whether they are really very wovmofl now than they were two years ago when the price of No. 1 hard was $1.08 While it is true that wheat is 25 cents a bushel cheapcr than it was then, it is also true that the cost of living, as compared with that time, is a great deal less. A careful comparison of prices of all staple articles of consumption now and at this timi iu 1682, shows that the cost of nearly everything the farm er uses has been reduced to nearly, if not as mucli, in proportion as the price of wheat. If the .farm er who is complaining taht he ought to get $1 a bushel for his wheat this year wili sit down and figure a little, using the statements below, which arc perfectly reliable, he will discover that he can buy as much for a bushel of wheat now, at 84 cents, as he could two years ago at S1.05. Add to this the enormous increase in the amount of pro duction, and he will find that lie isn't in as great danger of bankruptcy as he may have Imagined himself to be. THE CROP NOW AND THJKN. In 1882 the total wheat yield of Minnesota was 32,000,000 bushels, and total corn yield 16,000,000 bushels, in round figures. Tho average yield of wheat was estimated to be about fifteen bushels per acre. This year the total wheat crop is esti mated to be over 40,000.000 bushels, an increase of 8,060,000, while the total corn crop will reach 24,000,000 bushels, an increase of 8,000,000. Tak ing the Minneapolis market as a basis for priccs iu the Northwest, hard wheat sold at fl.08 in September, 1892, declined to $10.5 in October, and remained nearly steady at that price till the close of the year. The bulk of the crop of 1882 was sold on a basis of $1.05 for No, 1 hard wheat, de livered in Minneapolis. The value of th« wheat crop that year, counting the entire crop, and mak ing an allowance for seed and home consumption, was $33,600,000. Iu 1A82, corn sold at an average price of 75 cents per bushel, which made the to tal value of the crop $12,000,000. The total reven ue from wheat and corn in Minnesota in 1882 was $15,000,00'*. Taking the estimate of the present wheat c. op of 40,000,000 bushels at 84 cents per bushel, the price new being paid in Minneapolis aad Dululh for cash and September, the total cash value will be $33,COO,000, exactly the same as that of 1882. The total corn crop of 24,000,000 bushels at 52 cents, the present ruling price, will give 812,480,000. The total value, then, in dollars, of the whoat and corn crop of Minanesota for 188 will be 916,080,000, against 345,600,000 in 1S82. THE VAULB OF OTHER CROFS. As wheat and corn are the principal product ions they are taken a? the b^ls of the wealth of the State. Krom the above figures it will be soen that, nowithstauding the low prices of wheat and corn this year there will be so much more to sell that the reveuae from these products will be greater than when prices were 25 cents a bushel higher. The prices of other farm products have not decreased, it must be remembered, iu any thing like the same ratio. Oats are selling now at only 7 cents less than in September, 1882. Bar ley is werth as much now as then, aud flax seed is worth 10 ccnts a bushel more. Cattle are higher, and hogs about the same. Taking into consideration the greatly increased yield of crop of all kinds, and the comparatively small differ ences in prices of everything except wheat, the farmers of the State will receive more money for their products than ever before. The quality of all kinds ef grain and vegetables was never better in the history of State. Thore will be less low grade wheat and corn and oats this year than ever boforc, and farmers will reap the benefits in a much higher average of prices. A farmer whose income in 18S2 from a farm of 100 acres we say 1,009, with the price of wheat $1.05, wif! find himself in receipt of as large, if not larger, in come this year from the same form, while the ex penses are reduced horn a or does not pass.What must be done to make ANY business A'success, is to find the way to do it well with the least loss. T*he new Northwest assists in the solution of many hitherto vexing problems. Everything that can be grown hfere isr of tlie best quality,and the sheepthat northwestern farmers will put upon' the market at no very distant day will maintain the reputation for:the excellence of products that the Northwest' always deserved^ Some remarks upon the subject, from the pen o!Sam Lawrence, pablished in the Western Plotoman, are well worth reading and the following extract is 15 to 30 per cent. DIFFERENCE IN COST OF LIVING. A careful investigation shows that the prices of all staple acomiuodities of life has steadily de creased during the past five years. The compari son, for the purpose of this article, it made with 1882. In that year lumber was from 20 to 25 per cent dearer than now. Hardware lias declined from 25to 30 per cent in value. Bar iron which sold for $.".25 wholesale, sells for $2.40 now. Horse nails have declined from 18 cents to 16. Barbed fence wire, which is a heavy item of expeasea to tho farmer, has de clined from 914 cents per pound to 5£ cents. Building paper which sold then at 82.85, sells now at 1.50. White lead is 50 cents per 100 pounds cheapcr. though oils have not declined to any ex tent. From the above figures it will bo seen that buildings and fences cost from 15 *to 23 per cent less now than when wheat was worth. $1.05, and only a moderately large crop. IN THE XATTER OF CLOTHING there is a differance of about 15 per cent. Heavy flannels and woolen ."goods of all kinds have de clined'fully that much since 1382, and other qual ities of staple dry goods show abont the same de crease. The following figures show the wholesale prices then and now of a few staple goods: 1882.- 1884. :e?f»r,t»:w^'V-*.-. in fine wooled Merino is the best. But where the land is more expensive and the cost of keeping for this,reas on being greater, the price ot the wool but little more than pays for the keeping. Other sources of profit must be had,and may be found in the mutton breeds. The Cotswolds and Downs are the paying breeds of the East. They yield a good fleece of wool, and weigh as much, as two Merinos when sold to the butcher. The lambs, too, if a market 28. [884. W AdOlXA, is near, can be sold to advantage when four or five months old. Thfey often bring more money at THAT^E than an old sheep. Right in this raising and selling lambs lies the profit of sheep at the present time. Mutton, not wool, should be made the pre dominant object. From it is the greatest gain in this countrv. and when this is generally understood many others will talk of the sheep that pay.—Northwestern Farmer. CLOTHING, HATS & CHAS. H. PEAKE, President.
